New base for police


TWO neighbourliood tpolice officers will be able


o spend more time out


and about on their beats after securing a new base


m Mellon PC Jo Dolan and


p e s o Mick Turner will now work out of Mellor Brook Community Cen­ tre , which is based on Whalley Road in the


heart of the Ribble Val­ ley village. The two officers, who


together cover Mellor, Osbaldeston, Balderstone and the surrounding area, will spend the


majority of their time on patrol in the community.


They will use the com­ munity centre as a base, allowing them to reduce the amount of time they spend travelling between the town and Whalley Police Station. Response officers will

also use the centre to save time, which means even more officers out on the streets. PC Dolan said: “The community centre is a modern building at the heart of the commu­ nity, which is accessible for residents. People can call into the office to see us if they have any prob­ lems or want to report a crime and the new base will allow us to become more involved within the community as well as spending more time out on the beat.”

Church holds a sports service


i i i i


INSTEAD of the usual sound of hsunns, praise and worship songs, Whalley Parish Church re-sounded to the roar of a football crowd, the “Barmy Army” and fans of British Formu­ la One ace Jenson Button! Whalley celebrated “Back


to Church Sunday” by holding a special service with a sport­ ing theme.


Parishioners - young and


old - were asked to kick-start the service by coming to church in their football, crick­ et, netball or any other sport­ ing kit. They were also urged to come armed with their whistles! Churchwarden Clifford


Ball, who sported a Ferrari Formula One T-shirt, was left bowled over by the large turnout. He said th a t the church needed to provide a different type of service if it is to attract young parents and their children hack to church. “One of the reasons that


children do not come to church on Sunday mornings is that they are playing games such as football. So, we


thought why not have a sport- themed service in chimch? “Judging by the faces of the


children who attended it looks like Whalley Parish Church has scored a winning goal!” He added: “Children from


Whalley Primary School pro­ duced a large banner on to which the colours of various football teams were attached. “The idea was to show that


although everyone has their favourite team, when all the colours are put together it rep­ resents God’s team. “The Bethany Children’s choir also attended and they


provided an African flavour to the service with their unique songs and dance. “The Rev. Jim Holt and the


Rev. Barbara Knight conduct­ ed the service and the sporting theme likened to Jesus picking his team of disciples much like Sir Alex Ferguson would pick his team to play Blackburn Rovers or Burnley (he will need to field his best players against Burnley next time!).” ■ Pictured are children and
